Chapter 35 Waterwheel Drawings
Jiang Yizhou calmly explained: "I saw it in my father's travel notes. It said there is a place where water trucks are used to transport water from low places to high places. It's very convenient. I thought we have it here."
Fortunately, she is now managing her facial expressions pretty well, her explanation is relatively reasonable, and everyone's attention is already on the waterwheel.
So, everyone asked her what the waterwheel looked like, whether it was like a horse-drawn carriage, whether it needed to be pulled by a mule or a donkey, and so on.
So, seeing that everyone was interested, Jiang Yizhou shared all his superficial knowledge.
She had seen the waterwheel working when she went to the scenic spot before. The water flowed underneath and pushed the huge wheel to turn, and there were water-blocking plates and gutters on the wheel.
When rotating, the water tank brings the water to a high point and then pours out the water to achieve the purpose of lifting water.
Everyone seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.
Second Brother Tao became more excited. He had grown crops before, and the most difficult thing was irrigation. If it was a low-lying flat land, he could just bring water in directly.
Since it has to be on a hillside, irrigation depends on rain or manual water carrying...it's simply a life-threatening thing.
If there is another drought, the mountains will basically be abandoned.
But if we have the waterwheel that the young lady mentioned, then, then... wouldn't there be hope for this large piece of land on the farm?
His eyes were shining as he asked question after question.
Jiang Yizhou is also a half-knowledgeable person. She once thought that a waterwheel looked quite simple, but when the other party asked those questions, she found that she actually only had a vague understanding.
In the end, she had to make the excuse that she had watched it for too long and couldn't remember it clearly, so she went back and thought about it carefully and muddled through it.
However, Brother Tao's enthusiasm remained unabated and he said that there was a carpenter among the potters.
When I have no work, I come to Taozhuang to work.
He also said that he would ask the other party if he could make a waterwheel after he returned.
When Jiang Yizhou heard these words, he felt like he was going to strip her clothes off on the spot.
Half a jar of water has taught you that you only had a vague idea about everything before. Now, if you can't produce the drawing of the waterwheel, you will be very embarrassed.
Well, her farm also lacks water. Only with water can this place come alive.
and so……
Xiao Tongzi: "Just now you have basically explained the principle and rough model of the waterwheel. In addition, the conditions for manufacturing waterwheels are already available in this era, so you only need forty merits to exchange for a complete set of waterwheel drawings..."
Xiao Tongzi's words were like the sound of nature, which instantly put Jiang Yizhou's uneasy heart at ease.
But when I think about it, that's not right. Forty merits? Could it be that this little Tongzi is quoting the price based on his own account balance?
She couldn't help but say, "Xiao Tongzi, we are comrades in the same trench. You can't always do things that hurt your teammates. I just happened to have more than 40 merits today, and you immediately said that you need 40 merits to exchange for the blueprint?"
Xiao Tongzi also felt wronged: "Xiao Zhouzhou, this exchange list is not mine. I am just a medium. I am just presenting the supreme rules to you. The prices above are also set by the supreme rules..."
Jiang Yizhou no longer dwelled on this matter. Forty is forty.
Improving cassava seeds is important, but water is the most important thing of all.
The reason why Brother Tao was more active than anyone else was because a large amount of water was needed in pottery making. The daily life of the dozen or so workers, the cows on the farm, and so on all required water.
These were all carried up from the mountain.
As for the well dug at the bottom of another hill, the water output is very small. If it is dry for two months, the water will stop flowing.
Seeing that Brother Tao was going out with great interest, Jiang Yizhou hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I just seemed to have remembered something. I will go and draw the blueprint and show it to the carpenter. If it can be done, that's the best. If not, you can go to town and find someone to do it tomorrow."
The second brother Tao looks taller than his father Tao Junshan, with a sturdy build, slightly dark complexion, and short and thick fingers. It can be seen at first glance that he works frequently.
He rubbed his hands excitedly and said yes repeatedly.
Jiang Yizhou did not hesitate and immediately went back to his room, asking Yunxin to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for him. Then he began to draw stroke by stroke according to the exchanged drawings.
This was the first time she picked up a pen since she came into this world. Although she had the memory of the original owner writing in her mind and her body had muscle memory, when she actually held the brush and wrote on the rough paper, she still felt weird - there was no point of force.
I was just drawing a horizontal line, but it turned into a big ball accidentally.
In the end, there was no choice but to ask Yunxin to go to the kitchen to get some charcoal.
My hands and face were covered with charcoal dust, but I finally finished the drawing.
I compared my own drawing with the blueprint I exchanged in my sea of consciousness... Well, apart from being a little ugly, there was nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Yizhou handed the drawings to Tao Er.
Now, there are only two points of merit left in my pocket.
There is still ninety-eight to go before reaching one hundred.
Jiang Yizhou decided to go to the town tomorrow with a few dozen taels of silver.
The next morning, Yunxin Yucui took Wei Ke to prepare breakfast, and helped him recognize people and understand some rules.
Jiang Yizhou is the only one here now, so there are no big rules, but the hierarchy between master and servant cannot be abolished.
Otherwise, she won't be able to gain a real foothold here and win the support of the people.
Jiang Yizhou finally had a good sleep. When she woke up, she saw Yunxin coming over with the washing tools and wanted to help her get up.
Jiang Yizhou refused. The clothes worn here were simple, such as narrow-sleeved skirts and pants, which were not that complicated.
Besides, she didn't like being served all the time and having no freedom.
Just ask her to put the things there and she can do it herself. And ask her to tell Yucui to remember to clean the toilet every day...
Although Yucui played an indispensable role in Jiang Yizhou's decision to fight back and escape from the Jiang residence, Jiang Yizhou still did not forget how she had embarrassed the original owner and how she had been angry with him. Therefore, Jiang Yizhou was sure to give her a hard time.
Several people were still sitting around the table eating breakfast. While eating, Jiang Yizhou began to assign tasks to them.
At this moment, Tao Er came running over in a hurry with someone.
Liao Qi brought the man to the front yard, and Jiang Yizhou quickly finished his meal and came out to meet him.
When Tao Er saw Jiang Yizhou, he was so excited that his eyes lit up, his body trembled, and his speech was a little incoherent.
The man who was brought in was probably in his forties, a little hunched over, one of his eyes was damaged, and one of his hands didn't seem to be very flexible.
No wonder the carpenter business is bad.
The man stared at Jiang Yizhou with his only eye, then felt something was wrong and lowered his head.
Jiang Yizhou was also very nervous at this moment. Could it be that this carpenter couldn't do it? Then he could only go to the town to find someone. After all, it would be more troublesome than the people in his own village.
"Brother Tao, Master Zhang, don't be impatient, just take your time and tell me what you have to say."
Tao Er: "Miss, this blueprint...are you willing to..."
